These types of sites seems to always be missing my favorite programming font. Pragmata Pro. https://fsd.it/shop/fonts/pragmatapro/ https://fsd.it/shop/fonts/pr

  Pragmata Pro is not a publicly-licensed font and can't be embbeded in such a site. Are you aware of Iosevka however? It is a similarily ambitious project. The glyphs have several variants and you can get some variant sharing many features with Pragmata Pro. I asked once for a very specific Unicode character, which was added in the following weeks.

    The downside of Isaevka is that next time you know it, it's already version 553.12.3 or something.

      how is that a downside?

      And your computer suddently burst into flame if you aren't using the latest version?

        If you use a package manager to install them it's inconvenient with upgrades all the time.

    I bought the full set of Pragmata Pro on sale, but I also really like Iosevka. If you like the style (slender/condensed), both are very appealing. Pragmata Pro is several notches above in overall quality IMHO. Hand-hinting at smaller sizes makes a world of difference if this is important to you. This means you can use the same font from low-res console to a 4k monitor and will consistently look wonderful. At higher DPI settings, Pragmata has a more cohesive sense of style. This is hard to quantify as it's quite subjective, but as pixel-perfect issues go away, the overall artistic direction start to become very important IMHO. The fact that this is done by a single individual shows in both little details and overall direction. I'm not trying to push Pragmata, I just want to say that I think the price is fully justified and absolutely worth it. The work that went into the fontset is absolutely huge. And as I said before, I also like Iosevka. Wonderful effort as well. It's slightly less packed, which I'm not super-fond of, and I find it only really shines if you have a high-DPI monitor. I use the different stylistic sets in my editor to subtly highlight different keywords.

  I love this because my favorite font is there. And it’s very liberally licensed.

  It's been in my wishlist for years. I still find it hard to pull the plug (and then get bored of it), but PragmataPro is truly a work of art.

  I bought this on sale years ago, and I really do adore it. The narrow-but-tall design means it optimizes for number of characters per line at the expense of fewer lines displayed at once, which IMO is a fine tradeoff since our tools tend to handle vertical overflow (via scrolling) better than horizontal overflow (via wrapping). That said, I'm sure you can find a free font with similar metrics. I will also say that I've had a great experience with the developer of the font. I once noticed a bug in one of the glyphs, and within a week of reporting it he had acknowledged it, fixed it, and pushed a new release.
